Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
